Buy back time !!

 And just as you can in your own business, you can outsource jobs in your personal life to gain back more time. So, how can you do this? One of the first ways I can think of and use regularly is to order your groceries online and have them delivered. This means no more going to the store and then queuing at the checkout. It can be more difficult to order groceries online if you perhaps live alone and do not often spend the minimum order of £40 that most stores have for delivery, but even so you can shop online maybe once a month and then just get basics such as milk, juice and bread at a local shop, or keep them in your freezer if it is large enough.

And then there are ways you can outsource your life by teaming up with your friends. For instance, you could partner up with someone and take it in turns to shop for each other (as you’re going to the shops for yourself anyway).

How about hiring a cleaner if you can afford to do so! When you hire a cleaner, you are paying someone to do household chores that you don’t want to do and or will free up your time for other things.  This can save you hours a week, while at the same time resulting in a cleaner house than you maybe could have accomplished yourself!

If you run your own business, you could even consider hiring a VA. This is a Virtual Assistant who can help you by doing any task they can do online: they will do things like making appointments, booking hotel rooms, booking meetings and more!

And then there are ways you can outsource your life by teaming up with your friends. For instance, if you want to save time shopping then you could partner up with someone and take it in turns to shop for each other (as you’re going to the shops for yourself anyway).

And lastly, if you have children, get them into the attitude of work, and have them do chores to earn their pocket money, they might even find it fun while you’ll gain more time to spend with them later and they learn that you don’t get anything for nothing!
